Yard sale benefits scholarships

Sep 17, 2022

MIDDLEBORO — The Oak Point Homeowners Scholarship Association will hold its popular fabulous fall yard sale from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1.

The event, which raises money for scholarships for Middleboro residents, will take place in the Oak Point Clubhouse, 200 Oak Point Drive. 

Residents of the 55-plus community have donated over $300,000 in scholarship aid over the past 20 years to students graduating from Middleborough High School and, more recently, from Bristol Plymouth Technical School as well.  

Covid restrictions prevented the group from holding the event for the past two years and members are eager to return to the sales floor this year.

In spite of Covid restrictions, The Oak Point Homeowners Scholarship Association was able to fund scholarships for graduating members of the Class of 2022, four at Bristol Plymouth Technical School and nine from Middleborough High School.

Several of these scholarships were made possible by generous donations by Oak Point residents in memory of deceased loved ones.

Furniture, electronics, tools, sporting goods, toys, holiday decorations, home décor, jewelry, glassware and more will be up for sale at bargain prices. A 50/50 cash raffle and lottery board will be available, and gift cards from local businesses and restaurants will also be raffled off.
